Those represent space beings, so you are culturally appropriating this guy!

They share an ideological pedigree. Neoconservativism and Trumpian facism, both, spring from the font of american liberalism.
It's just sad when people don't seem to realize who they are or where their talking points came from.
Yeah, tbh I think ironically that almost all the nuts in the US are guilty of appropriation-- they are non-peacelovers stealing the words of the founding fathers and wearing them (sometimes literally) with no fucking understanding of the point of any of them.
Sad!

I totally agree. I'm 1/16 or maybe 1/32 Huron, and tbh I think I probably could have gotten assistance. When I was young, I was on the street as a teen and eventually on welfare, and really could have used extra assistance. However, even then, I would have stood in a hundred more soup lines before I claimed a culture that I didn't really belong to.
